Here’s a common man’s schedule:-
1. Gets up in the morning.
2. Goes to the loo first. If he has a pet, he will take his pet for a walk. Else, would switch on the Television, listen to a “Satsang” till the time the bed tea’s served.
3. This is followed by reading rather browsing through the newspaper.
4. Goes to take his bath.
5. Gets ready. Has his breakfast. Leaves for the office.
6. Fights, Negotiates, Deals with People
7. Reaches home in the evening
8 Has his dinner.
9. Sleeps of while watching TV.
and the loop continues…
What kind of life is this….All u do is slog just to earn ur daily doze of bread and butter..there is no charm…no spice left…At the most all he can do is go out with his children to some park or at the most watch a movie..that too during the weekends….
Eventually, he will retire..Later..his kids more or less would follow the same lifestyle..barring the techological advancements…
All I am asking is cant this common man’s life be made more interesting…cant there be more than just job and money..cant there be happiness..a sense of gratification…
For all u know may be the final decision rests the person himself…
This blog is meant for all those “common people” or the “aam aadmees”..who are bored with their cliched lives and have a zeal to do something different…
Well, for one, the aamaadmi (ya aurat) needs to stop focusing on money, respectability or success and find something to do that s/he is passionate about. Not something that glories their name and skills, but something that they cannot imagine not doing, irrespective of whether the world notices or whether they are rewarded.
And to those who have no clue what it is, they need to find themselves, know their values, their limits, their capacity for emotions, relationships and compromises and to most of all, find the central focus of their lives – what are they living for?
Once you can answer that, you are found. And once you are found, you live beyond yourself.
